I really liked it! I think ending it on Marie dying would have been appropriate but pretty cliche (and she dies in every other story too), so having her survive and escape with Peacock is a great twist to it. I also enjoyed seeing how Marie and Peacock were before the slavers -- Marie's willingness to help because she feels a debt to Hilgard, Patricia being a shut-in and obsessed with the TV as a defense mechanism, and Hilgard was a great character all around. I wish we could have seen a bit more of him, but he made a great impression.Okay, time to bring this thread back
We've been waiting for this.
Did you like Marie's Story Mode?
Personally, I have questions about Filia and Squigly's fates. The story kind of loses them after the first battle.
Nice to finally see Marie making her wish. Nice to see the previous Skullgirls. Nice to see my boy The Skeleton as an important character.
Also, did they retcon Joe the Skeleton into one of the Medici goons that died while protecting Lorenzo in SGM?
From a gameplay point of view, I really like the use of Bloody Marie in the story mode. Heck, that was amazing. Also, nice to see that the predictions about Marie fighting her boss version were true. It was too good not to implement.
I caught some vibes from Robo-Fortune's story mode with this one. They may have a connection, plot-wise. Also, it reminds me of the unused alternative ending of Valentine's...
well i heard a theory in the discord that filia and squigly might have been dealing with the rest of the skullheart pieces who separated and might be causing trouble maybe parasoul is doing the sameI really liked it! After the kind of meh Webtoons pacing, it's great to come back to the story modes and how they go full anime in the best way.
Also, getting a timeline where the undead aren't exclusive to the Heart anymore opens up a lot of possibilities!
Now, are we calling the second game Chromegirls, or what?
Yeah, this one was a weird bit, they could've at least mentioned they got lost in the Gehenna tunnels since that was a whole thing. Parasoul also just loses once and gives up, though this being a combined story mode, it's unclear if she fought her before the team-up on Marie.
It's not really a retcon. It was shown in SGM Main Story so that was always the assumption, even if the Main Story isn't technically canon.
It's basically outright stated in Squigly's design document that Leviathan's space manipulation power was gained from their connection to Abaddon, Venus's Parasite. You can see in Squigly story that, right before she was "woken up" by Marie, Abaddon lunged at and seemed to attach itself to them. In Venus's IGG bio, there is also an apparent reference to it, that she has an "unwilling foothold on the outside".
Yeah I think that's my theory. It would make the most sense to me, and it sort of builds into the next part of the story that the main characters would have things to deal with even if Marie has been defeated. I know Marie's story isn't canon, but I think the circumstances that lead to the Heart being shattered and the explanation for Marie's survival could be assumed to be part of the canon path.
No, I know about this (it was a pretty epic moment in SGM and Webtoon).
It makes a lot of sense.
Ooh yeah I remember something like that.
If it's good enough for Marie I think it's good enough for Squigly.
All of Marie's undead buddies are in one piece, so as long as the other shards aren't too far from Squigly, she's probably good. If it's just Marie's piece then she's probably too far, just like Queen Renoir was too far away to awaken her before.
